Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

1½–2 pounds cube steak (4 pieces)

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons oil

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 medium yellow onion, sliced

2 cups beef stock or beef broth

8 oz sliced mushrooms

Instructions

  • In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge the cube steaks in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated on both sides.

  • Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cube steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 5 minutes until softened and caramelized.

  • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to soften.

  • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and beef stock, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

  • Return the cube steaks to the skillet and spoon some gravy over them. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until steaks are tender.

  • Serve the cube steaks smothered in the onion and mushroom gravy.

Notes

Add bell peppers to the onions and mushrooms for added flavor and color.

For a creamy version, stir in ¼ cup of heavy cream or sour cream into the gravy near the end of cooking.

For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the gravy.

For a vegetarian version, use portobello mushrooms or other hearty vegetables in place of the cube steaks.
